PECOFREE and Orange Page Launch School Lunch Service Featuring Popular Dishes for Teens

PECOFREE Inc., operator of the school lunch reservation and ordering service "PECOFREE," will launch a bento lunch project for junior and high school students in June 2026 in collaboration with Orange Page Inc.

This project will offer bento boxes featuring popular dishes among teens, supervised by Orange Page, and sold exclusively through the "PECOFREE" app at participating junior and high schools.

■ Popular Teen Dishes for School Lunch

Orange Page has been a trusted source of information on cooking and daily life through services like its lifestyle magazine "Orange Page," first published in 1985. "PECOFREE" is a school lunch platform being introduced in schools and after-school clubs nationwide, connecting schools, families, and local bento providers through a system that handles everything from ordering to payment on a smartphone.

This collaboration brings together PECOFREE's lunch service infrastructure and Orange Page's expertise in home cooking. By combining Orange Page's menu ideas with the know-how of PECOFREE's partner bento businesses, the goal is to create lunches that are appealing to teens and reassuring for parents. The menu lineup focuses on popular main dishes such as pork hamburg steak, chicken with mayonnaise, ginger pork, and chicken nanban, paired with vegetable side dishes for nutritional balance and visual appeal.
